From the minutes
“Move to postpone the appointments until our next meeting. Motion: John Golden Secondary: Robert Anthony John Golden - I have listened to Harbor Committee meetings, and I am very concerned about the behavior happening at some of the Harbor Committee meetings. Louise Venden - I agree with John. There has been a history of being nonproductive. I believe the Town Manager and this board want to work through the working relationship of these boards. I believe we need to bring on new people. But I would like to see appointments made this evening. Robert Anthony - we have had a lot of controversy. I agree with John. If we are just going to roll the dice and not look through the hourglass and look at the individuals who want to be on the committee. We should be very careful with who we appoint. Some of the statements that were made tonight by Leslie about the Chair, it really boggles my mind. Voted In Favor: 4 Opposed: 1(lv) Abstain: 0.” (Motion: Golden)
